Compatibility
This shield is designed for Arduino Uno R3 and compatible boards like Genuino Uno, Funduino Uno, etc. It stacks directly onto the board headers, providing screw terminals for all pins. Works with 5V system voltage. Not directly compatible with Mega or Leonardo without adaptation.
Wiring Notes
Insert wires into the screw terminals and tighten gently. Maximum terminal wire gauge: 18 AWG. For the prototyping area, solder components as needed, or use extended pin headers to avoid damaging the shield pads. The reset button is connected to the Arduino's reset line.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino Nano?
No, the Proto Screw Shield 1.0 is designed for Arduino Uno R3 footprint. For Arduino Nano, you would need a shield with a different pin layout.
Can I use this to power external motors?
Yes, you can connect motor driver modules via the screw terminals. Ensure you supply adequate power through appropriate pins and follow motor driver specifications.
Do I need to solder anything?
No soldering is required for wire connections. However, the prototyping area may require soldering if you add through-hole components. The shield itself works plug-and-play.
